how do you suck opponent off

there is some degree of fun, but it's super clunky and way better to dunk on with a friend

1/10

This game is not that great. The controls were terrible. Once you were down on the mat, it was really hard to go back up since you were really vulnerable and it is really luck base on whether or not the match will end with the ref countdown.

Graphically, it looks kind of good for the time and the crowd was fun to watch. Wish it was mario the Ref.

The only other positive I can give this game is the fact that the intro song was good, even though this song was reuse in a lot of previous sports games. I would not recommend this game unless you want to see one of the first wrestling game of this console.

Game #42 of my challenge

Clunky controls. No depth. Goes on for too long. I'd rather beat up my friend in real life.
It does have Star Man, though, and I can't say that about myself.


the controls are more wacky than the plot of actual pro wrestling, how is that even possible?

I dislike wrestling games in general, so what I'm even hoping from this? It's also one of those Nintendo's early NES sports games.

It plays like they didn't tested this game much.

A wrestling game in 1986 is a difficult feat to accomplish.

Now this is some true neutral

I don't understand the low reviews. This is one of the best if not best black box sports games on the NES. The sprite details for both the characters, ref, and commentators (who mouth words in the background) are all nice. Each wrestler has a unique special move. Music is catchy. The best way to experience this game is the two player versus mode. Very fun game with lots of little details adding to the charm.

É notável que esse jogo possui uma complexidade intrigante de movimentos e golpes com ampla variedade.

A dificuldade exige ao menos entender bem o que funciona, mas não é um jogo pra pegar e automaticamente sair brincando e vencendo. É um título de esporte rudimentar que impressiona mais que muitos de seus colegas de série, mas que exige experimentar, estudar e executar pra dominar e ter uma mínima chance de vencer.

No multi, certamente deve agregar valor em descobrir e experimentar coisas com outra pessoa, mas não estamos nesse momento temporal, então o exercício se torna mais complicado de realizar.

Não me diverti, mas fiquei intrigado com suas mecânicas.

One of the worst games I’ve ever played. It feels like you have no sense of control or any objective to do. Random bs just happens when you press buttons and it’s the furthest thing from fun. It’s just god awful and a terrible experience.

Wow I was not into this at all. I liked the suplexes outside the ring but other than that this was boring.

5.2/10

Nowadays, this is one of the worst fighting games ever. It feels extremely clunky and dated and the controls are overly convoluted.

This game is bad. If I had played this when I was a kid, I still would have thought it was bad. I finished it for the Super Switch Club though.

all of the fun with none of the frustration. this is what every nes game should strive for

I don't know shit about wrestling, but this is easily the best NES sports game i've played so far, I genuinely don't get the low rating

pro wrestling if it was good

Don't even bother; it's dreadfully boring and rough. I can forgive some of the early Famicom sports games like Tennis for being simplistic, but this was a Disk System game from years later. By that point, Nintendo definitely could've done better than this.

I could have been a contender brother
